Bess (Barrett energy simple system)

ABSTRACT

Two units sit side by side in a structure. The process is as follows: 
     A bucket is filled with water from a water tray that has been filled with water from a water tank. The water tray signals the water tank when it needs water. When a bucket reaches a certain position, the unit bar tips water tray and the bucket receives the tray&#39;s water. 
     The weight of the filled bucket causes it to drop to the water sewer below. The bucket dumps the water into the sewer. The water is pumped from the sewer to the water tank. 
     The two units are attached by a sprocket cable at the unit bar, and the cable travels over three pulley wheels. Each pulley wheel connects with generating motors. The units are separated by a spiked pole. The units have a generator motor mounted on a unit bar. The movement of the bar and the motor along the spiked pole generates energy. The net effect is the three pulley motors and the two unit motors continuously generate power.

BACKGROUND OF BESS

The use of water to generate energy seems limited to free falling water. This theory went to creating dams to accomplish the free fall. Soon after devises were established to generate energy from wind and solar sources.

Now my invention, BESS, is using gravity to cause motion in the form of a pulley system and contained falling water.

Recycled water, reclaimed buildings, and creation of another industry has formulated my thoughts for the Barrett Energy Simple System, BESS.

My search revealed that U.S. Pat. No. 6,445,078 has similarities and vast differences.

The use of pulley sprocket and a spiked pole interfacing with mounted motors generate more power with less resources than U.S. Pat. No. 6,445,078.

SUMMARY OF BESS Barrett Energy Simple System

Gravity, generating energy, by interaction of two containers (buckets) that are connected by a pulley system. Buckets are filled with water from a water tray, fed from the systems' water tank automatically. Support Poles that are pressure sensitive (by weight) release the buckets when they are full. The buckets drop to the system's sewer. Water buckets release the water into the sewer. The sewer water is pumped continuously back to the system's water tank.

Two motors, mounted on the bar that carries the water buckets, connects with a spiked pole. The falling buckets cause the motor's action with the spiked pole. A sprocket-type pulley cable turns the pulley wheels, which are attached to motors that generate energy. The action provided by the Barrett Energy Simple System results in five motors generating energy that can be sold to a utility.

DESCRIPTION BESS

The system has a structure that supports an overhead water tank and three platforms supporting three generating motors. These three motors react to the pulley wheels that front the platforms. The system is two units, side by side, that are separated by a pole that is spiked on two sides. Each unit has two poles that support the units. The poles also keep a water tray at a fixed location within the unit. The poles are pressure sensitive. The water tray has a receptacle for a tripping device. The unit has a bar that is a catalysts for much of the happenings in the system. The “unit bar” has a latch on its' upper side, and a motor mounted on the upper side close to the spiked pole. The motor and the spiked pole work together to generate energy. The unit bar has a tripping device that will tip the water tray.

On the underside of the unit bar is a hook on which a handle, attached to a water bucket, is hung. The two units are attached by a sprocket cable at the unit bar latch. The sprocket cable passes over the pulley wheels which are receptive to the sprocket design. An energy generating motor is attached to each of the pulley wheels.

The water tank is filled initially from an outside source. The water tank is filled until a flow master float cuts off the flow.

A water line from the water tank carries water to the water tray. The flow is cut off by a flow master float.

A tripping device mounted on the unit bar reaches the tripping device receptacle and the water tray is dumped into the waiting bucket. The pressure sensitive pole will release the unit bar when the water bucket has been filled. The water bucket is designed to empty when it reaches the water sewer.

The water pump sends the water through a pipe line to the water tank from the water sewer. When the bucket is empty in one unit the other unit's bucket is full. One will rise while the other falls. 

1. The use of contained water, gravity, and a pulley system is unique. The system requires a structure that supports two vertical traveling units. The units are separated by a spiked pole. The units have four support poles, two for each unit. The units share a water tank and a water sewer. Each unit has its own water tray in a fixed position and is supplied with water from the water tank. The units are coupled by a sprocket cable. The vertical traveling unit carries a water bucket hanging from the unit bar. A generating motor is mounted on the unit bar and engages the spiked pole. The water bucket is appropriately filled and emptied in the vertical travel. Water is recycled from the sewer to the pump to the water tank. New water, needed infrequently, is provided by outside sources when the floatation device signals the need. Evaporation will be the major cause of need. The water bucket is tripped and emptied when it reaches the water sewer. Simultaneously, the counterpart's unit bar tips the water tray into its' bucket and when it fills with water will descend. The pulley system pulls the empty bucket's unit back up to fill with water. Five motors are continuously generating power. Power is necessary for the water pump, and excess power will be sold. For maintenance purposes, that require a shut down, a manual cutoff valve is available at the water tray. Abandoned manufacturing sites could be used since they already are equipped with water sources. Multiple systems would provide energy tapped directly into utility lines. Water tanks and pulley platforms would have to be supplied. Ten feet wide and ten feet deep would accommodate one unit, the height would vary to availability. A minimum height should be established and higher isn't necessarily better. The optimum height would be a figured considering time of the drop and time of the tray releasing into the bucket.
